The throat punch is symbolic of wanting to permanently silence your critics like a pious Liberal. The nose punch is honorable and manly -- to public mar the appearance of a defeated adversary temporarily while allowing him to still exist. In the end, he is shown his proper rank in the pecking order, but still able to re-challenge and participate. The throat-punching Liberal, self-absorbed in a fictional land of homemade Piety, wants all critics silenced forever, barred and banished from Paradise.
